Well, I have to admit that after Mitt Romney withdrew from the presidential race I lost my zeal for blogging.  Call it hurt pride, annoyance, frustration, or whatever, but I haven't been as excited about the race since that date.  Well, now we're less than four weeks away and I can't keep quiet any longer.  I'll admit upfront that I'm not a McCain fan.  He's definitely not my candidate of choice for more reasons than I want to articulate right now.  I'm also not the biggest Sarah Palin fan in the world (and yes, I hear the gasps).  However, I am even less of an Obama/Biden fan and view the potential of them in the Executive Branch as an extremely frightening proposition.  Everything from taxes, foreign policy, economics, judicial choices, and everything else possible is too horrific to imagine during an Obama term.  So, during the next three weeks and six days I will be writing about the issues that are at stake with this election.  Besides the presidential race I will also be talking about an issue that is equally important to families throughout the nation - Proposition 8.  This measure that is on the ballot here in California would return marriage in the state back to where it belongs - between a man and a woman.  That measure has such far-reaching implications that people throughout the country should be closely following it and praying for its success.
